Although she felt reluctant to leave, Fiona still reached out and gave Shade a final gentle hug:
"Then let's set off and walk the last section of Yongye City."
"Okay. After I meet the gods, I will find a way to let you leave safely, just like I promised at the beginning."
Shade took her hand.
He found that the witches of the Fifth Era may have more or less certain character problems, but these girls and ladies all showed extraordinary determination and courage. This is also Sha De's view of the Fifth Era.
The reason why the impression of the witches and witch emperors has always been very good.
[Are you sure that it’s not because of their outstanding looks and figures? 】
"She" whispered softly in Shade's ear, but the sound was quickly obscured by the sound of Shade pushing the door open.
The two doors of the "Twilight Place" are not locked, so there is no need for Shade and Fiona to try their best to play "Escape Room" to find the keys.
The last mortal who came to visit this god did not know when he came. The door that had not been pushed open for a long time was heavier than it looked.
After Shade bent over, his body moved forward slightly, and then he put all his weight on the front of his body, holding the left and right doors with both hands. After activating the spell "Power of the Red Dragon", he finally
With the sound of gritted teeth, the two doors were pushed open to create a gap big enough for Shade and Fiona to pass through.
"Night!"
There is no light behind the door, but the night is deeper and more terrifying than the lightless streets of Eternal Night City. The thick night penetrates from the crack of the door towards the "place of dusk", but the depth of the night is
There is some vague light. But these distant lights, just like the starlight and moonlight in the sky in horror stories, cannot protect fragile mortals.
Fiona looked at the scene in front of her and tapped her lower back with the tip of her tail:
"We didn't buy any candles when we left the art gallery. Why don't I go buy them now?"
"The candle is too short.
Shade shook his head, while Fiona felt a little guilty:
"Actually, the two teachers gave me a way to pass through the night safely, but I lost that precious relic, otherwise I wouldn't have been controlled by that cafe. I always messed up things, in the Valley of Death
At that time, it was also because the tail was beyond the protection range of the teacher and had to sleep in an ice coffin, and I asked you to save me."
"Now is not the time to talk about this. When you go back, you can apologize to Miss Feliana and Miss Olanold in person. I didn't want to do that originally."
He finally took out little Mia and restored the cat. The cat looked around suspiciously and then barked at Fiona.
Strangely enough, this cat is usually very hostile towards strangers, such as Iluna, Dorothy, Lesia and Luvia. It took a long time to get along with each other before they finally got Mi.
Miya's partial trust. However, little Miya has a very good impression of the red dragon girl whom she has only met a few times.
Shade was not sure whether this was because the cat and Fiona both had tails, or because Fiona "generously" allowed the cat to observe the flame at the tip of her tail when she came to Evernight City for the second time.
"If you take a cat with you to meet the gods, will it affect its health?"
Fiona had the same worries as Shade, but at this time there was no other way for the two of them to move forward safely. Although Shade was guilty and extremely worried, his usual experience showed that the afterglow of divinity in him
, able to protect those who hide behind him.
Therefore, Mia was stuffed into the coat on the chest by Shade, leaving only one button unfastened so that the little cat's head could be exposed. In this way, when he really wanted to meet the gods, Shade could reach out and
The cat presses into the clothes.
"Let's go."
Shade held Fiona's hand, and then the two of them left the terrace known as the "Twilight Place" through the crack in the door and entered the palace in the night.
The pleasant radiance like the sun almost immediately emerged from the cat on Shade's chest.
And then, the glow of the brilliant silver moon also appeared from the surface of Sha De's body. However, this light was completely different from the previous firefly-like light. The light that appeared now could actually be compared with the light filtered by the cloth on his chest.
"Mia's Light" compared.
"Oh, Shade, you're as bright as your cat!"
Fiona was also surprised by this, and Shade soon realized that this was the impact it had on herself after obtaining the miraculous [Shadow of the Moon] spiritual rune more than an hour ago.
Although this influence currently only allows Shade to reach the level of a cat, this important spiritual rune will definitely play more roles in the future.
The silver and golden light intertwined and illuminated the red dragon girl, the only one who could not shine. The light that represented the power of the sun and the power of the moon touched together, in addition to making the curled-up cat shape on Shade's chest more obvious.
In addition, the two seemed to be increasing each other, so that as Shade and Fiona continued to move forward, the area illuminated by the light became larger and larger.
The light spread to a distance of five meters around the two people before it was completely suppressed by the thick night in the Palace of Night. And such a large range also allowed them to see clearly not only themselves, but also the interior of the palace.
Empty.
After just twenty steps forward, they saw more than a dozen figures who seemed to have been frozen in time, standing in various postures in the hall.
Shade even got close to the old woman holding a cane, and then determined that she was not frozen in time, but was fixed in this hall like a specimen by the night.
"I'm afraid this is the punishment the gods give to those rash visitors."
Fiona said nervously.
The palace was very large, and after walking a hundred steps, when the miraculous elements were so abundant that they almost suffocated the two of them, they realized that they had reached their destination.
It was so quiet that Shade could almost hear Fiona's heartbeat. And the golden and silver light extending five meters ahead finally seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier after Shade took another step.
The circular bright area becomes a circle with a piece cut off.
Although Fiona never said that she was nervous, but she really had to face the gods, and Shade could completely feel her panic and anxiety. This was not only because of the sweat on her palms, but also because her breathing was getting faster and faster.
, just like a dying person making his final struggle.
[Outlander, you have been exposed to miracles. You have some insights into the "dark night". 】
After a slight pause——
【He has arrived.】
"She" whispered softly.
A huge, deep existence that does not require any senses to be perceived, after "her" voice fell and Shade's breathing cycle was completed, it suddenly appeared in the high place in front that the light could not illuminate.
For a moment, he almost stopped breathing. Fiona behind Shade shivered even more and hid completely behind him. Even her tail was curled up and she didn't dare to show it. And the light around the two people was also here.
It compressed inward at a speed visible to the naked eye for a moment, until it could only maintain a distance of half a meter around it, and the light did not continue to disappear.
Now Shade could not only hear Fiona's heartbeat, he could also feel his own violently beating heart. Even though he had met the gods several times, he still dared not say that he was used to doing this kind of thing. When it was dark night
The gods came, and the sense of tension and panic still came to Sha De's heart again.
Shade lowered his head and looked at his chest. He was curled up there like a cat taking a nap, seemingly unaffected by anything.
Just as he lowered his head, cracks appeared on his clothes, centered on his chest, which exuded the warm rays of the sun, and then quickly spread throughout his body.
It spread to the neck, with cracks appearing on the skin inch by inch, until the cracks penetrated the eyes; it spread to both arms, and the afterglow of divinity formed a penetrating light on the back of the hands and fingertips; it spread to the hem of the clothes, and the brilliant golden glow was like sparks.
It floated backwards and fell on the red dragon girl, making her feel the warmth.
The surrounding light was obviously compressed, but in the state of divine afterglow, Shade could almost see through the thick night.
He looked up and looked ahead. What was not illuminated by the sun and moonlight just now was a dark high platform. At this time, on the side of the high platform facing the two people, a black curtain was set up, so that Shade could not see the high platform.
The gods behind the curtain.
"Shad, please speak."
Fiona held Shade's hand tightly and pressed her face against his back, her voice as quiet as a mosquito.
Shade took a deep breath and said respectfully:
"God of the Night, we venture into your territory and visit your palace."
The gods behind the curtain of black night were speechless, but Shade could feel the silent gods watching him. He was too familiar with the huge pressure that almost made him fall to the ground:
"We are here this time to give you a gift and seek your favor."
Although the stone slab from the First Era was most likely not the target of this transaction, Shade still wanted to give it a try, at least to know why the stone slab was still in St. Byrons in the Sixth Era:
"Ms. Mana Feliana, a mortal, is ready to present to you the stone tablet that records the story of the first night and day. It is the sage wearing a laurel wreath and holding evening primrose, and the supreme being who bound the blazing sun.
s story."
He paused for a moment, but the god behind the dark night still did not speak.
Shade was a little confused, but unfortunately he couldn't ask why the gods were silent. So based on his experience of many contacts with different gods, he judged that the gods were obviously not very satisfied with this gift.
There was still plenty of time, and Xia De was not in a hurry, so after sorting out his words, Xia De spoke again:
"Mortals are envious of your magnificent territory. Please allow them to build a school here and spread your reputation. But mortals also know that to get something, we have to pay. I don't know what else do great people need from us?"
